EHS Cheerleading Squad - Friday 10/18/2019
This Friday night the Eastland Mavericks play the Breckenridge Buckaroos.
It is also the competition for the FCA Helmet trophy! The fans from each side will be able to give their pocket change to their school's FCA. The fan side that raises the most will keep the Helmet for a year. Eastland won in 2017. Breckenridge won in 2018. All proceeds from the Eastland side will go toward summer athletic/leadership camps for students. Let's get that trophy back!

The Class of 2023 would like to sincerely thank any and all who attended last Friday night’s “Movie Night” at the Track. As you may know, this was our first attempt at holding an outdoor movie. The weather was wonderful and we drew a very nice crowd, but unfortunately we did experience a significant time delay due to several different technical difficulties, for which we would like to extend our deep and sincere apologies. Please do not discount us in the future, for we have since corrected those issues and are confident that we can overcome any similar problems in the future. With all of that being said, the “Movie Night” was a great success for the Class of 2023 and we intend to host several more movie events at different locations throughout the year so please watch for our signage and social media posts for times and locations. Again, we will have a full concession stand with all of your favorites snacks and drinks! We hope to see you there!
Thank you - The Class of 2023

This message is a reminder to all parents that the end of the first six weeks was last Friday, September 20th. Grades will be sent home Thursday, September 26th. I would encourage you to log onto Parent Portal and view your child's grades at any time to check their progress.
Our calculation program has changed regarding dual credit classes and/or advanced classes. They still hold a weighted value 10 points above normal credit, but the 10 points will not be calculated until the end of the semester. Class rank is and has been determined on semester average. This 6 weeks calculation system will have ZERO impact on class rank but will provide the parents an appropriate picture of how this student is performing in the class at that time.
For example, If you see that your child has a grade of a 72 in a dual credit or advanced class know that when calculated at the end of the semester that would be calculated as an 82. For parenting purposes knowing that their current progress is at 72% may assist in discussions of responsibility, accountability or appropriate class placement. Gold and silver teams will not be effected by this change. We will determine eligibility for the teams based on semester averages. Thanks for your help in this transition.
Want a 2018/2019 Yearbook? We have several extras for sale. Check with the high school office. They are $60 each. Cash or check accepted.

Top ten questions answered.
1. All students will need to be registered online this year. As with anything new, it may be a bit frustrating.
2. This is in place of the packet of colored forms you normally complete at the beginning of each year.
3.You will have to have a txConnect account.
4. txConnect is often referred to as Parent Portal.
5. If you don't have an account, you will need your students unique portal ID and a valid email address to set one up. If you call the school at 631-5040 we can give you the portal ID and verify the email address we have on file.
6. This registration it faster and less repetitive than the paper packet.
7. You cannot use the txconnect app. You will have to copy the link into your browser if using a cell phone. (we realize this makes no sense and are frustrated by it as well)
8. If you need help, we have computers set up at the school for you to use, and people to help you.
9. Your student will not be able to get their schedule until online registration is complete.
10. We hope this makes registration easier and faster for parents!
